Скачать или смотреть Stop Trying to Become Conscious — You Already Are | Alan Watts

Stop trying to become conscious.
This simple phrase feels unsettling because it goes against everything we’ve been taught about self-improvement, mindfulness, and spiritual growth.
In this video, inspired by the timeless philosophy of Alan Watts, we explore why the endless effort to “wake up,” “be present,” or “fix the self” often leads to more tension, anxiety, and exhaustion — not peace.
Alan Watts reminds us that consciousness is not something you achieve through effort. It is not a reward for discipline or practice. Consciousness is already here, quietly expressing itself as your thoughts, your breath, and your experience of this very moment. When you stop trying to become conscious, something unexpected happens: awareness reveals itself naturally.
This reflection invites you to question the hidden assumption behind spiritual seeking — the belief that something essential is missing. Through clear metaphors and non-dual insight, this video gently dissolves the illusion of separation between the ego and awareness, showing why you already are what you’re trying to become.
Rather than offering techniques or instructions, this talk opens a space for recognition. A recognition that the self does not need to control consciousness, and that effort itself may be the final barrier.
Stop trying to become conscious — not as an act of giving up, but as an act of understanding.
Because consciousness was never waiting at the end of the path.
It was walking as you the whole time.
